West Midlands Police were called to Pear Tree Lane at 6.20pm on Thursday (Aug 29) after reports a car had smashed into a garden wall.

Police arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of burglary. He was being questioned by officers.

The car was seized for forensic examination and enquiries continue.

Pc Tom Clark, who arrested the man, said: “The crash happened just off a very busy road and drew a lot of local people out of their homes.

“Officers were quick to respond and a man was arrested.

“Despite the arrest we’re working to identify CCTV cameras which may have captured the incident and forensic tests are continuing on the stolen car.

“I would urge anyone who witnessed the crash or the car in the minutes leading up to the collision to get in touch.”

Witnesses who saw the car on Pear Tree Lane shortly before the crash should call Bloxwich CID on 101 . People who don’t want to speak with police officers directly can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
